Thank you so much!

I think I'm actually going to be a demokin now. By the way, Vampiric Fury is a demokin trait, not a skill: "You draw strength from the blood of others. For every 10 damage you inflict, you heal 1 Hit Point. All healing spells and potions, however, are only half as effective for you. You can pass as human unless other traits mark you as tainted."

So will that be enough to use as my only method of healing? Or will enemies be dealing as much damage as I will?

What exactly would perception do for me since I'll be using ranged weapons? It's supposed to be important for ranged players but I don't know how.

Now I gotta add up all the attributes gained from perks so I know what to start my attributes at in order to get the maximum benefit. Edit: Just thought of something. If an attribute is at 10 can I pick a perk that raises it OTHER than the standard raise attribute ones (like the ones with secondary benefits)? And how about the temporary benefit ones like when you are low on health?

And if a perk is available when you level up, will it always be available when you level up afterwards if you didn't pick it, or are perks only available at specific levels?

By the way, what does the whole being marked as having a taint thing actually do?

Edit: Okay, now I've adjusted my attributes in anticipation of getting perks to raise them. Here are my starting attributes:

Strength 3 (4)
Perception 7 (8)
Endurance 8 (9)
Charisma 8 (9)
Intelligence 7 (9)
Agility 7 (8)
Luck 1 (2)

I will get the Gain attribute perk for each, plus Weapon Handling to raise agility to 10, and Superior Senses to raise my perception to 10. I'm assuming that the perks that activate when you have low health will bring attributes above 10, otherwise I guess I just won't get them unless you know a reason for me to do otherwise.

Is tagging Diplomacy actually necessary if I don't care about barter prices? I'm just getting it in case it gets me more quests or better item rewards, I don't care about gold.

Bah, just realized that you can get more attributes from factions too. Are there any other quests or anything that give you more permanent attributes? Do attributes from factions go above 10? And why does everyone say the Wielders are so good? The Inquisition looks better to me because of the +1 skill per level.

Thanks again
